Brown rice germinator and brown rice germination method

Abstract

The invention relates to a brown rice germinator. The brown rice germinator comprises a water tank, a heater, a temperature sensor, an atomizer, a blower, an ozone generator, a first valve, a second valve, a first air inlet pipe, a second air inlet pipe, a germination box, an exhaust device, a drain pipe, a power supply module and a control system. The blower is used for conveying air and water vapor generated by the atomizer to the germination box through the first air inlet pipe, the ozone generator is used for conveying ozone to the germination box through the second air inlet pipe, the germination box is provided with a rice containing container structure enabling brown rice to make full and uniform contact with the water vapor and the air, an exhaust port communicated with the exhaust device is formed in the germination box, and the control system is electrically connected with the heater, the temperature sensor, the atomizer, the blower, the ozone generator, the first valve, the second valve, a motor, the exhaust device and the power supply module. Accordingly, operation is easy, a user only needs to make the water tank full of water, washing rice is loaded, and germinated brown rice safe to eat can be obtained after the germinator is started for 20-24 hours. The invention further relates to a brown rice germination method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of grain processing, and in particular relates to a brown rice germination machine and a brown rice germination method. Background technique [0002] Rice is an indispensable staple food for human beings. Compared with polished white rice, germinated brown rice retains most of the vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber in rice, and produces rich γ-aminobutyric acid after germination. The human body has a good health care effect. Most of the germination methods of brown rice are soaked for several hours, then drained, ventilated, watered, kept warm, disinfected, etc. The problems are: 1. The water needs to be changed during the germination process, and there are many manual intervention steps, which seems very troublesome and inconvenient ; 2. The germination is uneven, the surface layer in contact with the air germinates faster, and the internal brown rice germinates slowly; 3. The disinfection is not done w...

Problems solved by technology

Most of the germination methods of brown rice are soaked for several hours, then drained, ventilated, watered, kept warm, disinfected, etc. The problems are: 1. The water needs to be changed during the germination process, and there are many manual intervention steps, which seems very troublesome and inconvenient ; 2. The germination is uneven, the surface layer in contact with the air germinates faster, and the internal brown rice germinates slowly; 3. The disinfection is not done well or the residue of the disinfectant is not handled well; 4. The germination time is too long (some take a few days)

[0003] In addition, the equipment currently used for brown rice germination adopts a generally closed cavity structure for humidification and heating, and then uses an external oxygen supply device or natural ventilation to achieve oxygen supply, and the contact between brown rice and oxygen and moisture is not uniform, so There is the defect that the efficiency of brown rice germination and the germination quality are not high
